Feeling the summer heat yet? With wedding season and Father's Day coming up, June is a great month for deals. Here are the best things to buy this month.

Every month, we look back at the best times to buy anything during the year, and pull out items each month to remind you what's coming. Obviously, none of this is to say you should go on a shopping spree—but if you've been holding off for a lower price on something, these are the things that get the sale treatment in June.

All Spring

Televisions and Other Electronics: The Japanese fiscal year ends in March, which means Japanese-made goods—like the electronics we all love so much—are going to be on sale as they try to get rid of old stock. If you didn't grab a TV during the pre-Super Bowl sales, now's the time to grab one. Author Mark Di Vincenzo notes that these sales are probably even better than the February ones anyway, as long as you're comfortable buying last year's model. Note that it's probably not worth getting a 4K TV just yet—there isn't a lot of content out for them. Wait for them to drop in price more.

Houses: According to Bankrate, spring is a great time to buy a house. Prices aren't quite as low as they can be in the winter, but you'll have a much larger selection to choose from, so you can take the time to find your perfect dream home. The spring weather makes the yards look great, and everyone comes out of the woodwork looking for a new home, which makes competition fierce. A lot of families start buying and selling at this time so their kids have time to make the transition during summer vacation, too.

Cookware & Kitchen Accessories: As graduation season draws closer, you'll see a lot of sales for common graduation gifts. Kitchen tools and cookware are at the top of the list, says Bankrate, so even if you aren't heading off to college next year, take advantage of the graduation-centric sales to stock up on any must-have kitchen tools now.

Thrift Items: It's spring cleaning time, which means you can not only sell all your old junk, but buy other people's junk too! If you're a thrift store shopper, now's a good time to get even better bargains than usual, since places like the Salvation Army will be getting lots of new inventory.

Vacuum Cleaners: Speaking of spring cleaning, if your vacuum just doesn't have the sucking power that it used to, it's the perfect time to buy a new one. New vacuums usually don't come out until June, so Bankrate says you should grab the old models now as they're clearing them out (though if you can wait, Dealnews says Black Friday will see the lowest prices).

Dishware: Wedding season hits its peak in the early summer, and dishware companies respond by slashing prices for all those young lovebirds that have it on their registries. Even if you aren't getting hitched, though, you can still take advantage. According to Real Simple, you can find savings of 25 to 50% off.

Tools: Say what you want about gender stereotypes, but they make for some pretty good deals come Mother's Day and Father's Day. Whether you're buying for dad or not, take this opportunity to stock up on power tools at a discount, says Dealnews. Make sure to shop before Father's Day for the best price, and if you aren't sure what to buy, check out our list of the essential tools for any level of DIY.
